Drop biscuit pot pie

This was a dish my mom liked to make when we were kids.

Start out making the stew.

Cut up a large onion, 4-5 potatoes and 2-3 carrots. I like to put it in a pan with a just enough oil to keep the potatoes from sticking. fry it for a little while. then add enough water to fully cook the potatoes. Then add a pint jar of your home canned chicken. Season it with salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder and chicken bullion. Taste it, if it need something else just add it.

Next make the biscuits.

2 cups flour
1 T baking powder
2 T sugar
1/2 t cream of tartar
1/2 t salt
1/2 c shortening, butter
1 cup of milk

In a bowl stir in all the dry stuff. Then cut in the butter or shortening till it is mixed evenly through the flour. Make a hole in the center and stir in the  milk until the dough starts to stick together. It should be a little gooey.

If you make the stew in a stainless steel pan or cast iron skillet that can go in the over. Spoon the biscuit dough out over the stew.  Bake in the oven at 400 till the biscuits are done.

Its easy to make and good to eat!!
